Installation
See all our installation videosDescription
VMZINC must be installed directly over the open-gap softwood boarding without the use of any membrane. The boarding should be clean and dry, 100mm to 150mm wide, 18mm or 24mm thick, according to the rafter centres. Any wood treatment products (fungicides, insecticides) must be dry and completely neutral in relation to VMZINC.
The roof boards are fixed perpendicularly to the direction of the pitch leaving a 1/8" to 1/4" gap between them. They are securely fixed to the structure.
Maximum difference in height between roof boards should not be more than 1/16". The deflection measured under a rigid 24" long straight edge cannot exceed 1/16" in any direction. The roof board nails are countersunk in order to avoid any contact with the VMZINC.
Metal salt solutions must not be used on the timber boarding.
The panels should be installed with the protective film in place. Protective film is recommended to be removed within 60 days post installation.
